So, good teams find a way to win. That must mean there are only a handful of good teams, because there's only going to be 16 playing after tonight. You take out three front-line players from a team and it's supposed to suck it up? That's childish.

RecoveryWhether your scaphoid fracture requires surgery or not, you will need to wear a cast or splint while the fracture heals. This may be for as long as 6 months. During this period of healing, unless approved by your doctor:

Avoid heavy lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or throwing with the injured armDo not participate in contact sportsDo not climb ladders or treesAvoid activities with a risk of falling onto hand (for example, inline skating, jumping on a trampoline)

If Coach Roy can win 2 more games with this situation, he will go down as the best coach in NCAA basketball. For the idiot UK fan on here and the other yahoo that talks smack about the Heels going "home", you must have been truly scared to talk so much trash.

It was very clear early on that Cretin's only strategy was to "Goon Up" on UNC. First the little punk #10 smacks Henson's injured wrist three times after the whistle, and winks to the bench as if to say "just like you told me, coach". Then #00 gives a double forearm shiver to Zeller (see video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IYQ0m-nSoA). #00 should have received a Flagrant 2 and with it immediate ejection. Instead the refs ignored the play entirely, which gave the other Cretin players sanction to continue playing GoonBall, as exemplified by #34's takedown of Marshall.

It's too bad Marshall got hurt. That being said, Creighton isn't the only team that has dirty plays. In fact, I'm sure every team in every level of basketball has played dirty from time to time, tried to exploit injuries, or played with a complete lack of sportsmanship. Carolina included. I have a hard time remembering a team whose coach left the court because they were being beat so badly, or another team (other than Duke) who flops as much as UNC.

funny reading comments from guys who hate Carolina. Why are you even reading about the team. Closet fans ? Heel wanna-bes ?..rednecks, tarholes ? The article is about a great point guard and how the team moves forward without him. Dumb A$$there`s a word for all you guys.

Remember, that 10th seed was Purdue; and they almost knocked them off. Thank goodness they won. Tarheelnation needs Kansas to put NC State in their place so that NC has Kansas for the final four berth.
